Lu Dali is famous for his righteousness in this town. Once this incident comes out, how can he have any reputation?
In addition, he has been borrowing money from various places recently, and outsiders may look down upon him even more. This is really a blow to people who care about face. Thinking of this, Lu Dali's face turned ugly. His mind went blank, and his heart pounded.
He jumped straight up, took two deep breaths, leaned back on the bed, and tried to calm himself down.
You need to think carefully about this matter
He can't act too hastily, he has to find a way to restore his reputation, otherwise, he will be too embarrassed to go out in the future.
So Chu Yunli soon discovered that Lu Dali and his wife came to help her. The most tiring job in the tofu shop was grinding tofu.
Lu Dali came over before dawn, and the two of them worked together in harmony. The other people who came to help looked at him, and they began to doubt the rumors outside.
Grinding tofu is very tiring, and if it weren’t for the little wages, no one would be willing to get up in the middle of the night. Lu Dali is considered a very wealthy person in the town, and it is impossible for him to come to work for the little wages. Then, he can only do it to help.
.
So, someone quietly pulled Chu Yunli and said, "Your Uncle Lu is also a pretty good person."
Chu Yunli frowned slightly, "I invited you here to ask you to work. Talk less and do more. If you can't do that, then you should go home and rest."
Her wages are quite high, 20% higher than others, and everyone who comes here is very serious. When I heard this, I realized that I was talking too much, so I immediately apologized and got to work quickly.
When Lu Dali saw that his daughter was being advantaged, he did not stop him and worked even harder.
He only wanted to get closer to his cheap daughter, but in Lu Xinghua's eyes, he inevitably thought too much.
Xinghua's mother remarried to a butcher in the town. The butcher would get up before dawn every day to kill pigs. It looked like he was fat from eating, but in fact, all he earned was hard-earned money. From the time a pig was killed until it could be put
On the case, it was a very dirty and tiring period. Xinghua’s mother, Mrs. Wu, was willing to endure hardship and got up to work with the men every day.
After Gao Changhe's marriage, Xinghua became angry with her father, so she ran to live with her mother. There was movement in the yard before dawn. She was not a three-year-old child, so she couldn't be asleep without knowing anything, even if she got up.
Lighting a fire can be considered a help.
When she heard her father running to grind beans with Lin Hehua, she was washing pig hair in the river. This thing has many uses, such as making brushes. Anyway, the pig hair is collected every day. Although it can't be sold for much money,
It was better than nothing. She was so tired that she was panting, and her breath was filled with the smell of pig shit. The person who sent the message was also a person who did not take it too seriously. He said that Lu Dali favored his stepdaughter and that she was also a daughter.
He also rejected the Gao family's marriage proposal, but Lin Hehua only came back after sitting in a sedan chair, which made Lu Dali lose face. After all, he was still willing to coax Lin Hehua. It's not partiality.
Even if biological sisters live together for a long time, they will inevitably quarrel. What's more, Lu Xinghua and Lin Hehua, two unrelated girls, have long disliked each other. Lu Xinghua feels that she is a member of the Lu family
She has a bloodline, but her food and clothing are exactly the same as those of an outsider, so she has long been unhappy.
The dissatisfaction that had been accumulated for a long time, coupled with the outsiders' exaggeration, made her immediately throw away the pig hair in her hand and run towards the main house of the Lin family.
Lin's Tofu Shop, which had been closed for many years, has opened again. Many old people like this food and would have been waiting outside if they had known it.
The smell was a little different from before, but it seemed to be more fragrant. There were a lot of people crowded outside, and when Xinghua arrived, she didn't care about the crowd and just squeezed in.
Other ordinary people in this town are reasonable. The person guarding the door did not focus on stopping people. Suddenly someone broke in. He was stunned for a moment and hurriedly chased after him.
But it was already too late, Xinghua went straight to the back door, because Lu Dali came to collect rent from this house. She had been here several times before, so she was familiar with the house, and she quickly found her father in the backyard.
"Dad, what are you doing here?"
Lu Dali frowned when he saw his daughter appear.
The last time he had a quarrel with his mother and daughter was because of Gao Changhe's marriage, and it was very ugly. These days, father and daughter have not seen each other. Even when Lin Hehua got married, Xinghua didn't come back. In his heart, he felt sorry for his daughter
He had some resentment, and he was very busy raising money recently. His daughter would be fine with her own mother watching over her from the butcher, so he didn't interfere.
He asked, "What are you doing here so early?"
"Good morning."
"I don't allow you to work here. You can either go with me to wash pig hair or go home."
Lu Dali ""
"Xinghua, if you don't want to live there, just go home, and no one will let you go back. Don't lose your temper here." He lowered his voice, "I didn't come to help Hehua for nothing, there was a reason.
of."
Xinghua wiped her tears and said, "There must be a reason. You treat her as your biological daughter. You are here to help your daughter with work."
Lu Dali ""
He wanted to explain that he did all this to get money from Lin Hehua, but Wang was nearby, so he couldn't say these words directly. He pinched a handful of apricot flowers and took out a handful of copper plates.
Handed it to her, "Don't mess with me here, I'm doing business, take this copper plate to buy something you like."
Xinghua was furious and threw the copper plate out violently. "I don't want it. If you give me these, you will give her more. You are obviously my father." She became more and more sad as she spoke. "If you treat the woods like this, then I can't help you."
You can say that. He is the only male child in the Lu family, and he should be taken care of by you. But why should she, Lin Hehua?"
There was so much commotion here that Chu Yunli rushed over quickly.
Xinghua glared at her angrily, "Hehua, I've been without a father since I was a child. I'm really pitiful. Can you please stop robbing me of my father? Isn't it bad if you robbing someone else's? Why do you have to fight against me? Did I owe you something in my previous life?"
"
Chu Yunli blinked, "Let's go invite Uncle Lu."
If she really went to invite him, Xinghua wouldn't be so angry. What she was annoyed about was her father's initiative.
Chu Yunli turned to look at Lu Dali, who was at a loss. "Uncle Lu, I originally hired Lamo, but you insisted on staying and working. Noisy business is the most taboo thing. I just opened my business today. Xinghua
You'd better go home and rest. You fainted on the street that day, which shows that your usual health is fake. You should still pay attention to your health, don't stay up late, and don't get up so early."
There were words of concern inside and outside the words, but Lu Dali felt a little helpless in his heart. If Lin Hehua was willing to give him these land deeds as a pledge of money, then he really cared about him.
Then he said to Xinghua, whose face was full of tears, "Xinghua, don't come and argue with me. I persuaded him to go back."
Xinghua "" is even more angry, okay?
She was crying and making trouble just now, but her father refused to change her story. As soon as Lin Hehua said it, he immediately remembered who was his biological daughter.
Seeing that his daughter was still making trouble, Lu Dali saw that it was really taboo for business people to see someone making trouble early in the morning. He grabbed his daughter and said, "Come with me."
Before leaving, he told Mrs. Wang, "You can help here and go back when you are free."
Mrs. Wang was a little worried about Xinghua's bad temper, and was unwilling to get close to someone with a cold face. When she heard this, she felt relieved and felt that the man was caring.
The father and daughter passed through the noisy crowd and walked to a quiet place. It was bright and bright at the moment, and there were not many people on the street. Lu Dali whispered, "Xinghua, do you think I don't want to sleep and would like to be a donkey?"
Xinghua didn't want to listen to her father's nonsense. No matter what her father said, he really treated her and Hehua equally. Then, it didn't matter who her father really loved in his heart.
So what if it hurts her
Even the lotus flower has benefited a lot.
"I went to work for the money." Lu Dali sighed, "You are not a child, you should be sensible. To tell you the truth, just two months ago, I heard that the price of cotton was going to increase, so I raised some money.
I have spent a lot of money on this pen. I am just waiting for this winter to make a big profit. It is only July now, and winter will be several months away. At that time, I did not have enough money, so I secretly misappropriated the Lin family's. You should also have heard of the lotus cake.
When I got the money, I went to borrow it with interest. The interest was a lot every day. If I couldn’t get the money back in one day, the interest was compounded over there.”
Xinghua didn't quite believe her father's words and said angrily, "Who asked you to do such a big business? Our family can't survive? You insist on doing this? What if we lose money?"
Lu Dali was feeling anxious these days and had already regretted it. He sighed, "It's just that I was hot-headed at the time. Xinghua, this is a sure profit. If you do this enough, you two siblings won't have to worry about anything in your life."
When the time comes, I will buy you a house as a dowry, and you will live with your future husband-in-law. Your mother-in-law will not be able to make you angry at that time, and you can do whatever you want." He emphasized emphatically, "I am doing all this for you.
Siblings."
Xinghua was not ignorant. After hearing these words, she asked dubiously, "You didn't lie to me."
"Oh, my girl, how long has it been since this happened? How can I still think of lying to you?" Lu Dali stamped his feet. "I went to work just to gain Hehua's trust and get the land deeds she bought to pledge.
Xinghua, let those money sit for a few days before interest, I will take a risk and work for them."
Xinghua wiped her tears, "Then you go back.
Lu Dali explained to his daughter and felt happy in his heart, "My girl is still sensible. I will share the money I earned with you and Shu Shulin in the future."
Xinghua was successfully pleased by these words, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "Then you have to keep your word."
When Lu Dali returned to the Lin family, Chu Yunli saw him trying to squeeze in and immediately went to meet him, "Uncle Lu, I know what you mean. It's better not to come here in the future. Xinghua and I are not on good terms. She
There are too many dissatisfaction with me, I have left the Lu family, and I don’t want to quarrel with her anymore. You can go back."
Lu Dali ""
"That girl got distracted for a moment. After hearing other people's nonsense, she came to me to make trouble. I have made it clear to her just now. Don't worry, she will never come to trouble you again. If you have time,
I will also come to help you."
"It's really not necessary." Chu Yunli emphasized, "I can do the work for two cents a month. In practice, there is no need for you to get up early in the middle of the night. If you really want to help me, just spend two cents to hire someone for me.
"There's no need to come in person.
Lu Dali was speechless.
If you spend money to hire people, you only have two taels of silver. If you want to get more than a hundred taels, no one who can count will agree.
Anyway, Chu Yunli didn't want him to come in, so he used Xinghua's reason to cause trouble to completely block him out.
Lin's Tofu Factory has reopened. It tastes completely different, but equally delicious. It has also introduced many new varieties. Since its opening, the tofu made every day has been sold out.
Chu Yunli only cooks until noon every day. If she can't buy it, she asks for breakfast the next day. Because she has to leave half a day to make other things, it's not that she can't make it. Tofu, no matter how delicious it is, is just like that. Please invite the people here
It would do her no good to wait until the townspeople got tired of eating it until she was half exhausted.
Everything was going well in the tofu shop. Chu Yunli planned to sell some of the two shops she bought. So, she went to the city that day.
She didn't tell anyone about her trip to the city beforehand. She only mentioned it to the woman in charge of the tofu shop, saying that she had something to do and would be away for two days.
If a girl went to rent a carriage, it would easily arouse evil intentions if she was not familiar with it. She simply bought a carriage and drove it to the city herself.
Lin Hehua went there once or twice, both for fun, so she didn't need to know the way. Chu Yunli knew the direction and didn't go wrong.
After she arrived in the city, she made a point of visiting several medical clinics. She planned to open a pharmacy and hire a doctor for consultation.
The town is so big, there are not many doctors, and there is only one really good doctor, so he is really too busy if he never visits the doctor.
But some of the dozen or so villages are very far away, and it is difficult to move the patients to the town. Because of this, some people delayed their illness and lost their lives.
Chu Yunli had to be careful when buying medicinal materials. Chu Yunli spent a lot of effort and spent two days shopping around to order a lot of medicinal materials and have them delivered to the town. She planned to stay one more day and find a doctor to go back with her.
.
I happened to hear that there was a medical clinic in the outer city that was closed. The medical clinic was opened by father and son named Zhou. Just last month, when Dr. Zhou went out to see a doctor, it was raining heavily outside, and the carriage overturned and he fell.
, this fall was hard, and he has been sick since then, and Dr. Zhou recently caught a cold and the hospital will be taken over by his nephew.
His nephew didn't know any medical skills, so he just wanted to sell the medical clinic and dispose of all the medicinal materials. Many people wanted to get a bargain, but his price was not low, so the matter became deadlocked.
Chu Yunli came to the door not because she wanted to take advantage of it, but because she thought it was a bit strange. She went there with the intention of watching the excitement.
"This is it." The person who came was a middle-aged man about thirty years old. His steps were sloppy, his eyebrows were black and blue, he looked like he hadn't slept well, and his body was very weak. Chu Yunli could tell that he had indulged in too much.
.
The nephew of Dr. Zhou was such a person. Chu Yunli became more and more curious. After checking various medicine cabinets, he found that the medicinal materials in them were all genuine and not fake. Some of them were moldy.
It has only recently started to deteriorate.
It was a pity that good medicinal materials were wasted. Just as she was lost in thought, a warm body came closer from behind, and then a pair of hands stretched out towards her waist.
Chu Yunli's wary of others was engraved in her bones, and she pinched him subconsciously. The next moment, a scream like a slaughtering pig came from behind.
She turned her head and met Zhou Guangzong's horrified eyes.
Chu Yunli asked, "What did you want to do just now?"
Zhou Guangzong wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that he couldn't do it at all. He became more and more panicked and said, "Let me go first."
Chu Yunli did not let go of "You want to bully me"
Zhou Guangzong didn't dare to look at her, "You are a girl going out alone, and you are alone with me as a man. It is difficult for me not to think too much. That's why I was so abrupt. Girl, don't be angry. I apologize to you."
Chu Yunli frowned and let go of his hand, "I can buy these medicinal materials, but I want to meet the real owner."
To attack a woman he has never met before, this man must not be a good person. The clinic of the Zhou family and his son should not fall into the hands of such a person. The condition of the father and son is probably a bit fishy.
Chu Yunli has a temperament that sees injustice on the road, so it's just a misunderstanding. If the father and son really need help, she is willing to help them.
Zhou Guangzong rubbed his wrist, glanced at Chu Yunli several times, and said, "They are sick, just give me the money, and then you can take the goods away. These are good things, just take them and throw them away."
It can make money. Let's do this. I was sorry for the girl just now. I gave you fifty taels of silver to move the goods, so we can just do it."
Chu Yunli heard something coming from behind the pharmacy, her eyes moved slightly, she opened the curtain and walked in.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Guangzong was so furious that he followed him through the door.
After Chu Yunli stepped into the door, she first smelled the strong smell of medicine, and then frowned. The two of them did drink the medicine, but they should not be boiled together at all.
, it would be strange if it doesn’t cause problems in people.
Two people were lying in the dark room. A man on the bed had gray hair and a look of death on his face. The young man sitting at the door was out of breath and seemed to be about to pass away at any time. He saw someone at the door.
Come in and look over immediately.
Chu Yunli met his eyes and was slightly startled.
The person on the chair was also stunned.
Chu Yunli twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "I heard that your medical clinic is going to be sold at a low price. I am going to buy it. How much money will you pay?"
Zhou Ping'an, who was sitting there, smiled bitterly, "Thanks to the girl for being so considerate, this medical clinic is free of charge. There is only one condition. The girl will take our father and son away as well, which is a great kindness. I will definitely repay you generously in the future."
Zhou Guangzhong's eyes widened, "Ping An, what are you talking about?"
Chu Yunli turned to look at him, "Please go out, this room is too small and too crowded."
Zhou Guangzong was dissatisfied: "You are an outsider, why should you order me?"
Chu Yunli looked him up and down, "You tried to take advantage of me just now. Should I report this to the official?"
Zhou Guangzong ""
"Don't you want your reputation? How can you get married after this kind of thing spreads?"
Chu Yunli narrowed her eyes, "I won't bother you. By the way, you speak so smoothly. Have you ever bullied other girls?"
When asking this question, she first stared at Zhou Guangzong, seeing that he felt guilty, and then looked at Zhou Pingan, "Do you want to report to the official position?"
"No need." Zhou Ping'an coughed twice, "There is no need to fight for him. He has bullied many people, wait until I am free."
Zhou Guangzhong's eyes widened, "Ping An. Shut up! When did I bully others? What do you want to do with your hands free?"
The two cousins looked at each other, Zhou Ping'an's face was calm, "You tampered with the carriage and the driver that I took out for medical treatment, right? The medicine you gave my father after he fainted from high fever didn't mean that he would wake up again."
.Zhou Guangzong, you are finished."
When Zhou Guangzong heard this, he was so frightened that he backed away. He retreated to the door and pushed the door with his back. When he realized that he had no way to retreat, he looked sharply.
If he went out today, the father and son would definitely not let him go. Once they freed up their hands, he would be unable to retreat. Either they would die or something would happen to him.
He didn't want anything to happen, so he could only send the father and son to die. He turned around and bolted the door.
He was indeed restrained by the girl just now, but he thought that the girl struck too quickly and it must have been an accident.
It's impossible for a grown man like him not to be able to defeat a woman. Besides, the father and son left in the house are just breathless things. If he can't even do this, he has no shame in living in this world.
Chu Yunli blinked to make sure she saw it correctly. The man in front of him reached out and took out a wooden stick, pretending to beat someone.
"what are you up to"
Zhou Guangzong's eyes were cold: "Girl, who told you to meddle in other people's business? Since you bumped into me, don't blame me for being cruel, and don't come to me to settle accounts after you die. Remember, don't meddle in other people's business in the next life."
As soon as he finished speaking, his stick also dropped.
Zhou Ping'an ""
He sighed in a tone of voice, "I'm looking for death."
After being together for so long, he could tell that Chu Yunli was very ruthless, especially when it came to his enemies. He would have his hands and feet cut off if he attacked her. Before he could finish the thoughts in his mind, he heard a click over there.
The hand that was just connected has been moved away again.
Zhou Guangzhong screamed.
Chu Yunli put the man down on the ground and stomped on his legs.
There was another click, this time the sound was crisper. The bone was not staggered, but directly disconnected.
Zhou Guangzong screamed and fainted.
Chu Yunli shrugged and was about to say a few words to Zhou Ping'an when he met the astonished gaze of the middle-aged man on the bed.
Will it scare old Dr. Zhou if this is so fierce?
